Embracing Holistic Healing with Homeopathy
What is Homeopathy?
Homeopathy is an efficient, safe, gentle and holistic approach to health and used alongside mainstream medicine in many countries of the world. It takes into account all aspects of an individual patient, from the physical symptoms, to the mental and emotional wellbeing, lifestyle, medication and personality. This helps the Homeopath to find the right remedy to treat the root of the problem – and not just the symptoms!
How Does it Work?
Homeopathy works by stimulating the ability of our body to heal itself. It works on the cause of the problem, rather than just the effect. The remedies are made from minute doses of natural, non-toxic substances which work on the ‘like cures like’ principle. For example the remedy ‘Alum Cepa’ is made from onion and is used as a treatment for symptoms including teary eyes (e.g. in hayfever). The tiny dose of Alum Cepa will activate a response within the body to stop the teary eyes.

Who is Homeopathy Suitable For?
As this therapy is suitable for everyone; babies, children, the elderly, through pregnancy and even animals can be successfully treated. Homeopathy can also work alongside conventional medicine – often helping to alleviate many of the side effects conventional medication can present. In some areas of the UK, homeopathy is available on the NHS and most private medical insurance cover complementary therapies such as Homeopathy. It can be used for short term acute illnesses as well as long standing chronic complaints.

What Happens in a Homeopathic Consultation?
Usually the first consultation takes between 1 – 1.5 hours, depending on the problem. This is because I take the time to take a comprehensive case history in order to establish what may be causing the health imbalance. The aim of Homeopathy is to find out HOW YOU FEEL – and not just to treat the disease by relying on text book symptoms. In my consultation you can tell me as little or as much as you like! The more information I receive, the easier it is to find the best remedy matches and treat the problem.
